I like it when they let situations just happen and don't feel the need to speak over every moment and ignore the game like, lets say... Brent Musburger, but with Fox it only happens because there is an audio problem.

FOX did that like throughout the entire Orange Bowl last night. There was a penalty on the field, and Brennaman and Davis kept talking about... can't remember, I was pretty drunk then just so I could stand the game.

I'm sorry but Pat Summerall jumped the shark since him and Madden split from the NFL on FOX. It's clear he hasn't done much research, and while he doesn't really need to, just trying to read off last names from the starting lineups and not being able to do it well because the ticker is going too fast for him shows that he needs to retire. I'll take last night's crew way over this.

@anon 2:41: Summerall could be blind, deaf, drunk and on acid...and he'd still blow away last nights crew. They were the most atrocious broadcasters I have ever heard calling a major sporting event. At least when Summerall loses track you can credit him with a senior moment. Thom Brennaman shouldn't even be calling high school games.

Sorry J, going to disagree with you. Can't excuse a senior moment for 4 hours, Summerall is just too slow. Baldy is just horrid. Both of these guys just got up and read the AP preview real quick before doing the game, and both of these guys sound like they don't know what's happening. They have no chemistry whatsoever.

Summerall and Madden used to be my favorite crew in the NFL, so I know how good he was. It's hard to do one game a year, so he needs to either do more or not do this at all.

OK, I agree with what your saying about the announcers, but the presentation was terrible last night. This is watchable. Last nite wasn't. FOX had more shots of the band and cheerleaders than the game itself, you could never get into it. Add the fact that the game sucked, and you've got a game that I probably really paid attention to for about 5 snaps.

I cannot take it anymore, it's obvious they think we're a bunch of idiots who don't want to watch a football game. This is unbelievable. If this is what journalism has become then we're in trouble.....

I much prefer this telecast over last night's Orange Bowl. Pat and Baldy are holding their own. And the camera work is much, much better. Shows how much better Fox's NFL crew can do than their college football counterparts.

Last night wasn't too bad a game on the field when they showed it, but it was one of the worst called and produced national games I've seen (I normally mute Brent Musburger games). Summerall is trying to put me to sleep though and it's sadly obvious he doesn't know much and isn't prepared. He has slowed down a lot and it's showing. Fox is starting to show more and more crowd shots and is getting away from the game. The overall production has been bad by Fox this year. I didn't want ESPN to get the BCS games, but even they are an improvement over this.

Good catch by Ole Miss. Texas Tech should have done better on coverage.

It was painful to listen to this broadcast. Summerall is like your senile grandfather who's a few steps too slow upstairs and repeats the same phrases over and over while missing the large elephants in the room. Did you guys know Harrell's a smart kid and that the Rebels run something called the Wild Rebel formation? Amazing. Sure beats hearing about the touchdown that was just scored or what the penalty was about. The epitomy of awful announcing.
